It was a pleasure to inaugurate VFS Global's Visa Application Centre in New Delhi and interact with the representatives of so many Governments who are offering visa services from this centre.

“I am delighted that VFS Global has taken over outsourced visa work on behalf of the Embassy of India, Seoul on 2 February 2015. I have been impressed by the seamless transition which speaks volumes about VFS Global’s professionalism. I am confident that VFS Global will render a very high quality service that would be a matter of pride for both the company and for the Embassy of India.”

Thank you very much for the good cooperation with you! The daily communication with you is very comfortable and just as easy. We are always impressed how flexible you solve our problem cases and develop creative solutions together with us. When we came to Moscow and had a look at the map of the Russian Federation, we understood the meaning of the word “large-scale” also in connection with your services. Now the area does not seem to be so huge, as we have already opened 16 visa application centres. Last year we have opened four new visa application centres and this year we will open some more. Thus, the success story seems to go on...’’

Today we look back on one year of successful cooperation with VFS Global in Ekaterinburg. The opening of the VAC in February 2013 and its most efficient and professional operation by VFS Global have substantially facilitated life not only for the Visa-Section of the German Consulate General but also - and even more importantly - for the visa applicants in the Ural region.

Additional improvements came with the recent opening of Visa Centres in Ufa and Perm in November 2013 and January 2014 respectively.

We are most grateful to VFS Global for this valuable contribution to the development of closer ties between the Ural region and Germany.

By writing these lines I would like to thank you very much for uploading the German and English version of the VFS website. I have browsed the new website yesterday evening and I am very content with our common work. We have extended and amended information, restructured many segments, briefly put greatly increased user experience. All of you have been a constant source of support in this project. This adds to the professionalism I have experienced since first working with VFS. It is a pleasure working with you guys.

I would like to place on record that VFS Global has proved to be an efficient, innovative, professional and reliable partner. VFS Global is focused on our ever changing needs in enhancing our visa process catering to the demanding needs of our visa applicants.

The UK Visa Application Centre managed by VFS Global in Thailand is actually a link between the visa applicant and the British Embassy and each staff is actually our valued partner.

The enhancement shown during my tenure by VFS Global in Thailand has helped us grow on our service standards and narrow the bridge for visitors intending to visit the United Kingdom, (100% online application module, 100% appointment based application service, Priority Visa to allow fast track application decisions for Business Travellers and Saturday Prime Time Appointments allowing working executives to submit and collect visa applications and visa decisions on weekends).

I look forward to VFS Global keeping up the good work always and I do take this opportunity to wish each and every staff all the very best.

The Visa Application Centres provide dedicated locations where applicants can submit an application for a UK visa.

Applications are checked by VFS Global’s staff to ensure that they have been properly completed and that the relevant supporting documentation has been included. VFS Global’s staff also oversee the capture of biometric data (finger scans and photograph) of each applicant. Additional services such as SMS updates and optional courier return of passports are also provided at most Visa Application Centres.

VFS Global also provides UK visa information services for customers in the region and operates or oversees call centres in most locations.

I have worked with VFS Global for a number of years in different parts of the world and have always found them to be a professional and flexible organisation that is committed to excellent customer service.

The Canadian Embassy in Beijing has contracted VFS Global since 2008 to provide visa application submission services in four cities in China. During this time, VFS Global has provided a high level of service. VFS Global has been consistently punctual in conveying applications to and from the Embassy. They provide data entry services with a high degree of accuracy.

VFS Global has also demonstrated quality client service, both in receiving applications and in responding to client enquiries and requests. Perhaps most importantly, VFS Global proved capable of adjusting smoothly and quickly to significant changes in processing requirements, including seamlessly re-routing applications within the network.

The Australian government has appointed VFS Global for the provision of visa services in Indonesia. This agreement commenced in October 2006 for an initial three year period which has recently been extended. We are very satisfied with the services provided by VFS Global. VFS Global is well experienced in this type of work and are responsive to our changing needs and requirements including the focus on client service. VFS Global works closely with my office to develop innovative, client focussed solutions to providing a service for all Indonesia.

I would like to place on record my appreciation for the good work done by your team at the Indian Visa Application Centre of VFS Global. While this Embassy’s effort has been to constantly improve visa and consular services to applicants, based on changing needs and feedback received, I would like to mention that your unit has adapted well and provided a very professional service. I am happy that the VFS Global team has shown the ability to innovate and has readily taken on additional responsibilities. I have received positive feedback regarding the courteous and professional service at the VFS Global unit. This has resulted in considerably improving an applicant’s overall experience with the Embassy’s visa and consular processes.

Hungary only joined the VFS Global operated Joint Visa Application Centre (JVAC) in December 2010, in Dubai. Our main goal was to facilitate the visa application process for those who reside outside Abu Dhabi and for whom travelling to our Embassy would cause significant efforts time-wise. After less than one year of co-operation, I can confidently confirm that we have created a more customer friendly environment. By submitting the applications in their home city, Dubai residents save precious time while receiving a professional and efficient service, with numerous options to choose from. During my visits to the JVAC, I was always deeply impressed with the extremely high level of organisation regarding all imaginable aspects of the work. The staff showed thorough knowledge of the rules and regulations that we must apply in the Schengen system and whenever changes occurred, VFS Global could immediately adapt to them. The management of JVAC Dubai was a reliable partner in my work, always ready to co-ordinate and always at hand when there was a problem to resolve. At the end of my tenure in the UAE, my highest appreciation and gratitude goes to VFS Global. I am confident that with your cooperation, we will be able to improve our service further.

I am pleased with the systems and processes implemented by VFS Global to ensure data confidentiality and data security of all transactions performed through its service. The commitment of the VFS Global team members, across all levels of the organization, is also highly commendable.

With VFS Global as our partner, we have been able to utilize our resources more effectively and provide visa applicants with quick and convenient visa service options. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to VFS Global and its staff for their dedication and continuous efforts in achieving high levels of customer satisfaction and service.

When Switzerland joined the Schengen visa scheme in December 2008 the number of visas increased from one thousand a year to more than one thousand a month. It was just impossible to cope with this huge additional work-load. Therefore we turned to VFS Global for help and thanks to its professional guidance we managed to reorganize our visa-section and webpage. I was highly impressed by the efficient and tailor-made outsourcing-possibilities VFS Global offered us.

Within a few weeks we were able to offer a visa service someone would expect from the Swiss Embassy in London e.g. efficient and courteous. Without our friends from VFS Global it would have been impossible to achieve such a high standard of service for our ever so demanding customers. Thank you VFS Global.

The U.S. Consulate in Mumbai has had an excellent and dynamic partnership with VFS Global since 2001. We interview 1,000 visa applicants every day. With our high-volume workload and our small waiting room, we simply could not keep up with our work without VFS Global’s excellent assistance in collecting documents, performing quality checks, answering enquiries, and handling all of our appointment scheduling for us. VFS Global’s high level of customer service and efficiency is a credit to their operations, and reflects well on the U.S. Consulate. VFS Global has proven to be innovative, responsive, and effective in all that they do, and we enjoy an enterprising, mutually beneficial business relationship.
